    RASENDRAMANGALAM. st INTRODUCTI Nagarjuna’s Rasendramangalam was originally written in Sanskrit. The copies of this manuscript are available in Telugu, Malayalam, Devanagari and other scripts. The text was edited only once and published by Bhuvaneshvari Pitha, Gondal (Gujarat) in 1924. In this edition many misprints and incomplete portion of verses are kept as it is without any at- tempt to complete the verses. Presently the book is out of print. The work has eight chapters. But only first four chapters were available in the pub- lished edition. I have compared this published edition with manuscripts obtained from the Gujarat Ayurveda University, Jamnagar and Rajasthan Prachya Vidya Pratisthan, Govern ment Office, Bikaner. The first four sections are ready and presented here with English translation and notes. However the Bikaner ms. has been mainly followed by me and the Jeft-out portion has been completed with the other edition and Jamnagar copy. About the Manuscript Following information on manuscripts will be of interest: (1) Verses in Jamnagar copy have no serial numbers, but the verses are given chapterwise (2). Verses in Bikaner copy are serially numbered irrespective of chapters which run upto folia 15 and verse 216. Thereafter the serial number is given according to the subject and not according to verses. (3) There are 37 folia in Jamnagar manuscript, 56 folia in Bikaner manuscript. (4) Names of drugs available in the manuscript are written in Roman script. (5) Copier’s mistakes are corrected, proper titles of the subject are also supplied where the copier is silent (6) As far as I know the remaining four chapters are available in the custody of Welcome Institute of History of Science, London. Authorship There were many Nagarjunas referred to in the history of sciences of India. The originator of Mahayana cult following Bauddha Madhyamika philosophy is re- ferred to as Nagarjuna. He is perhaps the writer of Kaksaputa who seems to have followed the Bauddha cult and its theory of Pajnaparamita. The Kaksaputa also refers to a conversa~ tion between Ratnaghosa and Vatayaksini which took place in the presence of Nagarjuna, Conversations between Nagarjuna and Salivahna is also quoted in Kaksaputa, Site of con- versations was, Srigaila which is situated in Andhra Pradesh near Hyderabad and Nagarjuna konda. The originator of Sunyavada and Madhyamika cult under Bauddha tradition flour s2 INDIAN JOURNAL OF HISTORY OF SCIENCE ished in Salivahana kingdom during 2nd century AD. This Nagarjuna seems to be a differ- ent person from the author of Rasendramarigalam. Dalhanacarya, the commentator of Susruta refers to one Nagarjuna as editor of Sustuta. He is also a different person. Pandit Kumarajiva had written in 401 AD in Sanskrit on the life of one Nagarjuna. It was translated into Chinese language and is now available. The letter written by Nagarjuna in Sanskrit (Pali) entitled arya nagarjuna hodhisattva suhillekhi, was translated into Ti- betan and Chinese languages. He was Arya Nagarjuna. A Prakrt story book, Li/avati quotes about Nagarjuna Pottisa_ and Kumarila during the kingdom of Satavahana, This is again a different Nagarjuna Nagarjuna, the author of Rasendramarigalam, is supposed to have written another work entitled Rasaratnakara. But he is not the author of Kakasaputa Tantram and Arogya Maijjari, though these texts are wrongly attributed to him. Nagarjuna, as quoted in the text of Rasendramarigala (1.1) prays, natva surendram sivasaukhyadayakam, in his various yogas, effects of formulas were given in the name of Brahma, Visnu and Rudra, etc. of Hindu cult. Therefore it is presumed that Nagarjuna. the writer of Rasendramangala was a Saiva,different from the author of Kaksaputa. Possibly he also belonged to Siddha cult, The treatise Prabandha Cintamani quotes about him. The Nagarjuna was also a disciple of Padalipta Suri, He was successful in Dhatuvada for conversion of lower metal into noble metal. He was also a good physician. He is believed to have flourished during 7-8 century AD. ‘HLS. Sharma RASENDRAMANGALAM CONTENTS Chapter 1.

RASENDRAMANGALAM s7 Now follows the commendation on Rasa. There are eight accomplishments of the human life viz. Anima, Mahima, Garima, Laghima, Prapti, Prakamya. Isatva and Vasitva respectively minuteness greatness heaviness, lightness, attainment, wilfulness, lordness and subjection. Rasa pos- sesses all these faculties and therefore imparts supremacy and completes glory to all human beings. This worldly sea is shoreless and Rasa gives power to over- whelm it. Is there any other thing, that kicks away the old-age eccept Rasa-Raja on the earth? Not at all As it is a liquid quick silver and obtained binded Bandha state, it penetrates the minutest particles of the body termed as Srotas in Ayurveda. On having fainting, Marcchita state, it is capable to kick out the multitude of illness, that is caused of Dosa-disya-sammiarcchana. On Jarita state, it ruins the life. On Kamita and Ranjita states, it imparts enjoyment and emancipation respectively. On Marita, state, if it is utilised, it makes life im- mortal. On Jalaka-bandha state, it makes a man like real Kamadeva, the god of love. As this is originated from the ores of mountains, on the Bhasma state, when administered it gives supethuman power attainable by the practice of penance. This symbol is placed for the technical terminology in the treatment of mercury. details of which is to be referred to respective item. Hence, the subject matter is to deal with the background of prosperity and pleas- ure for the common public through Rasa and its treatise Rasa-Sastra. ‘The ocean of a life-cycle is difficult to overwhelm. Nothing else can be predicted providing pity other than the Rasa. Because on its natural Abaddha state itis (raso vai sah) called as Brahmamiurti. And on its Baddha state it is protective of the life termed (Visnu) Janardana. Ranjita and Kamita state of Rasa is ISvara (Mahadeva) itself. Therefore follow the protector of the earth who utilises well the Rasaraja on this earth, if you wish to achieve the attaintment of your life free from the ailments. The gain that can be obtained through one hundred oblations, donation of one crore cows and one crore elephants as well of gold and land, the same Dharma is to be achieved by visualising the Sutaka (mercury). The lord of divine king has ob- tained the gain of dipping into all pilgrims to the mankind through daily viewing, touching and utilising Rasa. A bunch of pity for a troubled person Rasendra is like the formation of Sankara or Hari, who is the protector of this world so famous on this earth. ‘The man, who does not know the processes of Rasendra (mercury), how can be- come a physician? — means every physician must know the mercurial processes of medicines otherwise he cannot get success in the field of treatment. SB 18. 19-20. a INDIAN JOURNAL OF HISTORY OF SCIENCE. Can anybody sustain himself in the front of an assembly by putting on false cos- tumes and doing forgeries? Not at all. The physician, who does not know the detailed procedure of mercurial medica- ments, can not gain the fame, full of pity? means never. © King! may the combination ot all herbs be kept by some mischievous way on one side but that cannot stand in a fraction of one hundredth but even of one crorth in its comparision in front of the mercurial gemnic-combinations. The mercury is the only drug that can potentiate for a longer time the power of drugs, originated from botanical, animal, mineral or marine resources. wel far afe pectic afte cay cam: ate (@t) a agarravadl wears werafa Jen 1 oct Experts of the subject narrate various blemishes of mercury viz.
